[url]Http://www.no-install.com[/url] - Own a usb thumb/key drive or ipod?

[leftyfb]

As the title suggestion. I have started a new project site at http://www.no-install.com . If you own one of the small USB flash drives, an ipod or any usb driven mp3 player that can be mounted as a drive on your computer then this site might be for you. It's all about software you can load onto these portable devices and run from any computer anywhere without needing to install anything on the computer. Most of the software on this site you can just copy/unzip to your portable device, bring the device to any computer, plug it in and run the application right from there without having to install it. Almost all of them save all your settings in the software as well.

One good example is the Portable Firefox web browser. You just unzip this application to your usb thumb drive and browse web sites using it instead of the local browser on the computer your on which might be broken, corrupt, doesn't have your saved bookmarks, might be logging all traffic or one of the most common uses.... in some schools, business's, the local browser might be configured to go through a proxy or firewall to disallow certain websites. Portable Firefox doesn't won't use those settings and if the network is setup properly you can get around the firewall just fine.

There are many of other applications linked on the site to check out. It would also be nice to get people to sign up, post comments to the articles that are posted, maybe post your own articles (which are screened) about portable software or devices or something related or even post software that is known to work without having to be installed on the local machine.

P.S. If your not using Firefox as your browser even on your local machine, it's HIGHLY recommended. Click on the "Take Back the Web" link on the right hand side of the site a little ways down and get your copy, it's free.
